Lindgren: 
Opponent: 
The flop delivered Lindgren the help he needed, coming 
. With the 
on the turn and the 
on the river, Lindgren was cleared for a double up and is now sitting with 6,200 chips.
Facing a raise to 575 from under the gun, Donnie Peters moved all in for 2,225 from middle position with the original raiser making the call.
Peters: 
Opponent: 
Fortunately for Peters, the board ran out 
to see Peters spike his three-outer and double through to 5,000 in chips.
Sasha Rosewood is up to 16,000. We didn't quite catch the action, but just before the cards were mucked we thought we caught some smallish suited connectors in Rosewood's possession and a pair of aces in his newly busted opponent's hand. We also thought we caught just the vaguest hint of a smirk...
While we can't figure out why this tournament might have more problems as a result of Chris Moneymaker's elimination, we are certain that it's a fairly clever headline.
Andrew Shepherd had raised in middle position when Dustin Wolfe shoved in the small blind for about 3,500. Shepherd made the call and it was time to see some cards.
Shepherd:
Wolfe: 
The flop was no help to Wolfe, coming 
. The 
on the turn left Wolfe drawing to an ace, which he didn't find when the river came
